The three “normal” suggestions are:

• Mint - https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
• Pop!_Os - https://pop.system76.com/ ; and
• Bazzite - https://bazzite.gg/

That’s gross.

They can only tell that something is blocked because the ad wasn’t loaded from a server. If it’s not loaded, then they can’t count it as “viewed.”

If the ad is just blacked over, it is still loaded, and they wouldn’t know.

This doesn’t look ergonomic at all. It looks like instead of potential wrist issues, you get thumb issues.

Have you looked into Mint?

The linux mint forums make it seem like it works out of the box. I know that it worked out of the box for my Thinkpad x380, even the touchscreen, pen, and screen rotation.

by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

x380 for the 2 in 1 gimmick!

You may be looking for a “dock” instead of a “panel”.

Plank is a popular/common one, I do not have any recommendations for you though

I agree that it’s not the year of the linux desktop, and that people who think it is are very naive, but you don’t need to tell anyone to use the terminal for anything for many distros.

I assume you are joking, but in case you are not, the bonesaw they are talking about is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia:

As a general rule for Linux; Yes, Nvidia hates linux, and the drivers cause issues in a lot of cases.

But Pop! has specifically worded to try to deal with Nvidia, so it might be smooth sailing, depending on which card you have.

As long as you don’t have an Nvidia card, choose whichever functional and complete distro (some people call these “beginner” distros).

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don’t play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can “live boot” from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

I didn’t see where the author brought up gender in this article.

fuck yourself with a cheese grater.

Make a USB that you can “live boot” from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidea. Once you have one you like, you can use the installer on USB to set things up.

I have never used that emulator, but I know that sometimes the installation method of things like emulators can cause issues.
Have you tried both a direct install, and the Flathub version?

Yeah, it sounds like the desktop version of an Iphone.
